I'm excited that essential oils are a pure and powerful plant-based system for natural empowered living.

Essential oils are the pure potent natural extract of plants which have a wide spectrum of uses in our daily lives for wellbeing, first aid, family wellness, body care, skin care, home cleaning, diffusing, emergency preparedness, air freshening, increased vitality and more.

Essential oils are usually steam-distilled at specific temperatures and pressure to create the highest quality of oils using just pure water. Some essential oils are cold pressed, such as citrus essential oils like bergamot, lemon and wild orange.

Ancient Aromatics

Essential oils have been prized for their therapeutic, rejuvenative and aromatic powers for millennia.

The potent gifts of aromatic plants were celebrated since the time of Ancient Egypt, India and China, and used extensively through Greece, Rome, Europe, and now around the world today.

Essential oils have been used for healing, ceremonies, aromatherapy, cosmetics and more for thousands of years. From the queens and pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, to hundreds of essential oil references in the Bible, the aromatic oils have ancient origins.

Now we also have a growing array of clinical evidence from scientists, universities and hospitals around the world that pure high-quality essential oils have great variety of benefits for the body, mind and emotions, to support the thousands of years old traditions of using aromatic oils for wellbeing.

Using Essential Oils

Essential oils are very concentrated, thus you only need a drop or two, and are very safe when used appropriately. This makes it incredibly practical for having it on hand for first aid or emergency situations, or for travel or on the go. They also stay potent and strong for years. So having them on hand is vital for preparedness.

There are so many uses for essential oils, that it feels like your always looking to your oil kit when you get familiar with the many diverse benefits of these pure plant extracts from such diverse plants, barks, roots, stems, flowers, berrys, leaves and trees.

However, as the essential oil industry has grown alongside the synthetic fragrance industry, it’s important to be a savvy and aware consumer because much of the essential oils on the market today are diluted with carrier oil and synthetic fragrances, that decrease the therapeutic potency and may be neurotoxins or carcinogens.

It’s vital to verify the source of your oils and know that they've been tested and certified by a reliable, independent and qualified laboratory to be pure and therapeutically potent - not just fragrant.

My favorite brand of essential oils id doTERRA, they are beyond organic. They are thoroughly tested to ensure there are no GMO's, pesticides, heavy metals, molds, toxins, synthetics in the oils, and to confirm therapeutic potency and purity of the oils, and every batch of oils are rigorously tested and verified by independent labs. This is very important to me, as I want to know that the essential oils I use, and I share with my children, are safe, pure, therapeutic and effective.
